What is the proper etiquette when addressing or writing to a President? Here is a video link on the proper etiquette to address a President. I finally had a chance to sit down and read your book over the holiday. Everyone up here calls him Obama and our Prime Minister is called Harper. Why do we not use their full name?

Sometimes I need to do a job, but I can’t move forward until I get an answer from someone else. While waiting for the answer, you can go on to other tasks and bring this item forward another day to get it off your desk, but don’t let it go off your radar. Put it in your Outlook Tasks with a reminder to follow up.

By the same token, I appreciate it when someone lets me know by when they will have something for me and if they can’t have it done by that date, then I like it when they get back to me to say when I can expect it. So that is what I like, but it isn’t always what I get. I can only guess when I might get it.

Of course the simple solution would be to have the same password for every aspect of your life, but nope that doesn’t work. And do we really have to change our work passwords every 60 days, and why can’t I use the same password I used a year ago? I kinda liked that one, but nope I can’t reuse the old password.
